Schorsknotje

Tachyta nana

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Tachyta nana faces severe habitat degradation from agricultural intensification and urban development across its limited European range. The species' specialized requirements for undisturbed soil microhabitats make it particularly vulnerable to ground disturbance from farming practices and construction activities. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered soil moisture regimes that could disrupt the delicate ecosystem conditions this ground beetle depends upon.

Threat summary

Habitat

Tachyta nana inhabits specialized soil microhabitats in undisturbed grasslands, forest edges, and agricultural margins across parts of Europe. This ground beetle requires stable soil conditions with appropriate moisture levels and organic matter content to support its subterranean lifestyle.
